Japanese Prime Minister speaking from a small boat to an American warship. Matsuoka is holding an oil-can and wearing angel's wings, surmounted by a dove of peace, and an olive-branch tucked into his belt. Refers to Japan's need for oil and approaches to the United States, on an apparently peaceful basis, at a time of aggression against other countries.
